Books Every Investor Should Read

Books Every Investor Should Read

Successful investment strategies are based on your education or knowledge about that particular strategy. Trophy deer hunters have a good foundation on how to hunt deer, but how they hunt the big monster bucks, is based on homework and current conditions.  Logic and common sense tells us that both investing and hunting can land us big bucks (pun intended) if we do our homework and build a solid foundation.  Lucky for us we have availible the tools to help us acheive our goals and dreams of big bucks. 

Long before we head off and into the great outdoors after those trophy bucks, we invest many hours of our lives into our hunting tradtion.  Investing, much like trophy deer hunting is based on a strong, rock solid foundation. Today we have many ways to build our investing foundation. The biggest part of an education today involves computers and the internet.  As the Treestand Investor, I like to read books in the stand when activities in the woods are slow. The other day I found these books that are listed below, that are the top ten books every investor should read.  While I have not read any of them as of yet, they have been added to my must have list.  If you have read any of them, let us know what you think and if they helped you or not, with your investing education.  And also if you have read any other books on investing, please let us know what they are, who they are by, and why we should or should not read them.

I found this list in an Investors Business Daily paper back in July .
